This is not a stunt baby, but our son, James, aged 14 months in this video. This supposedly top of the range high chair did not prove to be a safe choice. Luckily, we caught him the first time he did this, and then we let him do it for this video, but we never put our baby back in his Stokke Tripp Trapp. Would you?
So, of course, our first thoughts were that we hadn't assembled the chair properly. So we consulted the comprehensive manual that came with the Tripp Trapp. We checked and double-checked. The height of the seat. How far in/out the seat should be. Everything was correct.
When we contacted the company, they said NO ONE had ever done this before, which we find difficult to believe. Naturally, the people at Stokke quizzed us on how we had assembled the Tripp Trapp, and also were happy that we had the correct setup for the size of the baby.
Then they sent us a little strap to screw the chair to the table!! No note, no letter, no compliments slip, just a brown envelope with the little strap inside. We thought it odd that they had such a thing, seeing as this has never been reported to them before !!?! (We can't find the strap now, but when we do, we'll stick a picture on here.
